Michael Weston is recently promoted, becoming the youngest head of a branch of secret agents. His lover of two years, Timothy Miller, has finally moved in with him and they both work for the same organization. At the moment, Michael’s satisfied with his wonderful life. The first case he has to personally deal with is a mysterious murder, but Michael can’t make heads or tails of it. All the clues lead to dead ends. It certainly doesn’t help when he discovers his high school bully and crush Ian Davis is somehow involved. Things get worse when Ian confesses to harboring years of infatuation for Michael, which pisses Timothy off. Meanwhile, the number of casualties in the murder case keeps increasing. Will the three men be able to find a mutually satisfying solution? And can Michael solve the murders before someone else is killed?

Contentment

“Terrence, I need you to arrange for these agents to meet me tomorrow morning,” Mike remarked absently as he handed over a piece of paper with the agents’ names on it while he was trying to tidy up his messy table. “Please put away all of these folders. I’m done with them for now.”


Terrence grabbed the pile of folders he indicated. “Oh, the receptionist at the lobby called a few minutes ago. Mr. Davis is on his way up,” Terrence informed him.


Mike acknowledged the other man’s reminder with a nod. “Terrence, can you do some further research on my current assignment? Do it after you’ve arranged those meetings. Set the first agent for nine o’clock. I want half an hour maximum with each of them. There are only fourteen agents I need to talk to with regards to the potential assignments. I can interview them all tomorrow. Thank you, Terrence.”


“I’ll e-mail all these agents immediately.”
